Living: The Baryonyx lived on the riverbanks around what we now know as London, and down to France and Belgium. It used its enormous thumbclaw to catch fish. They have found an over 1-m. (3-ft.) long fish in its stomach.

But from the present animals, we have learned that a fisheating dinosaur did not only live of fish, probably also carcasses. It was 2½-m. (7,5-ft.) tall, and used its tail to keep weight against the big upper body. With its small arms it might not have walked on four legs.

Thumbclaw: The Baryonyx had an enormous thumbclaw on both hands. They were used to catch heavy fish with, just like a fisher uses a hook today.

Skull: The Baryonyx’ skull was over 1 m. (3 ft.) long with small rounded teeth, which reminded it of a crocodile’s head.

It’s odd skull and suitable arms made it a perfect fisherman.

Skeleton: The scientists had to use artificial bones to figure out, how the Baryonyx looked like, when Walker found it, because several bones had disappeared from the scene. Parts of the skull, ribs, tail arms and legs were copied from other Theropods to get this dinosaur’s skeleton complete.
